Great Replacement for Several Apps I Use

This kinda reminds me of a Mac App I had years ago that I loved. Although it's not quite on that level, the overall use and feel is close to it. Enough with the comparisons though.

CloudApp is a nifty tool that will take the place of 3 other chrome extensions I use to capture snaps and edit, and capture video. I love the fact that when I use this tool is automatically open them for preview or edit. The image editing tools pretty much cover all you would need, however the video falls short. There needs to be a few basic tools at least such as blur.

The overall features such as branding and custom url/domain are amazing. I love the fact we have that option. I do wish they would expand on other features such as the number of team members initially allowed. Even on the monthly team plan it's starts with 2. Two isn't a team, that's a couple. Honestly I wish by default it was at least 3 but preferably 5. I also wish they would have allowed stacking at least 2 codes to give us 4 people. This is probably my biggest disappoint me although it wasn't a deal breaker. A disappointment because when you create the account, you fill one of those slots and it leaves only one. Perhaps they could change this to 1 account owner and 2 team members. That would be HUGE!

On to the Chrome Extension. Luckily they have a chrome extension because my work laptop restricts the install of software, so I wasn't able to install the desktop version. The extension offered some basic and straightforward capture and record. It works but at times is a little buggy with disabling/enabling the mic and front facing camera. Despite this, the extension offers enough functionality that it does the job. I hope to see some minor improvements on it.

The CloudApp dashboard on their site is ok, but initially I kept getting an error that prevented my images from showing. Luckily it went away pretty quick. My biggest complaint with the dashboard is that I've been unable to find any usage stats. I know what my limits are, but I have no clue how close to them I am including on the 4TB storage. It would be nice to know these things, to enable some sort of notifications when you're closing in on limits and more. Also the stats that show views is kind of obscure and while it does show views in real time, it offers very little in regards to any real data. To see the views, you have to go into each individual "drop" and then click on events. I hope they improve this by showing where the traffic was referred from, and would love to see an overall "Drop" analytics page that provided an overview of all that info.

Here's a screenshot of that data: https://wplinks.co/cloudapp-stats

One last thing, a feature I would love to see added in the future.... Pixels. Yep, Pixels. Would love to be able to retarget some folks. For now I'm using Rocketlink to handle this. ;)

Great tool/software that I would definitely recommend.
